Youth Hostels and Budget Accommodation in Bath

If you're travelling in a group or holidaying on a budget, Bath’s hostels, university campus accommodation, and nearby holiday parks all provide perfect places to stay without breaking the bank.

Located just off the bustling and characterful Broad Street in the heart of the city centre, the YMCA Bath youth hostel is a great base to explore the city's attractions, shops, restaurants and pubs. The hostel caters for groups and solo travellers alike, with a selection of dormitories and smaller rooms available, alongside a complimentary continental breakfast. You can even join a fitness class or go for a workout at a discounted rate in the on-site gym during your stay.

Alternatively, take a short bus ride from the city centre to the University of Bath campus at Claverton Down. Here, you'll find comfortable modern rooms set within 200 acres of gorgeous landscaped grounds. As the accommodation is available over the summer months, you can also make the most of the beautiful surrounding countryside, and perhaps take a scenic walk into Bath. The campus also boasts world-class sports training facilities, so why not start your morning with a swim in the Olympic-sized pool?

There are more fantastic value for money accommodation options waiting for you in the beautiful countryside surrounding Bath. Stay in your very own cosy bell tent at Farrington's Family Glamping, based just a few miles outside the city, and enjoy a range of fun family activities on-site, from a play barn and farm park to a pick-your-own sunflower patch and nature trails. Or, check in to the Wookey Hole Hotel, offering a convenient base for exploring Wookey Hole Caves next door, and other popular attractions in and around Bath.
